So I figured its time to do some updates. Ive been so busy running around that I havent had much time in the last few weeks to work on the car. Just got around to doing some stuff here and there. Anyways, I picked up a set of CCW Classics in 18x9 +32 (2.5" lip) and 18x10 +25(3.5" lip). Ive been back and fourth with the tire shop trying to figure out what sizes to go, I fitted the wheels and decided that Im definitely going to need spacers, especially in the front because the calipers rub on the rims

Took the faces off the rims and got them powder coated a flat black, mostly because I was too lazy to polish them, and I wanted to try them in black.

I took a trip down to the big city (Toronto) over the weekend and picked up a pile of 5mm spacers, because that was all that was in stock. I figure it will give me some wiggle room to play with. I was really hoping for a flush fitment with the body, but after many tries it seems that my front rims just aren't wide enough to stretch a tire which im comfortable running. I decided to go with 235-40-18 and 225-40-18 for now and tuck. Im going to keep searching for a set of lips to go on the front, probably 4.5" lips and then just throw the 10" wide wheel in the front and the 11" wheel in the rear. This will allow me to run a stretched tire and not rub. BTW if anyone has a set of lips in that size I will gladly take them off your hands I dont feel like buying them new, too pricey.

I also ordered a set of 90mm studs from Turner Motorsport, along with a set of open end lugs. They showed up today and I was practically waiting on the driveway for the shipping truck to arrive

While I was in Toronto I also managed to snatch another trunk lid, and a CF csl type spoiler. Im hoping to fabricate a full metal csl trunk this summer, and i threw the csl lip on just for now. Im fairly satisfied with it, the gaps a little too much for my liking, but Im really hoping to have some free time soon so that I can get to work on it.

















I had a set of 245-40-18 on the rears just to try the fitment, I belive in that last picture its on with a 10mm spacer. I also found someone local to get a fender roller from, which I will be using probably sometime later this week to roll the rears, as it is the lips touch the insides of the fender just a bit.

So my to do list this week:
1. Get my new tires mounted
2. Get rear fenders rolled
3. Lower the front of the car by about an inch, will see once wheels are fitted.
4. Raise rear just slightly
5. Fix small leak in rear passenger bag
6. May have to adjust camber in the rear just a tad
7. Find a set of lips for the front rims.

hey everyone, figured it was time for an update. I ve been stupid busy with renovations and school so much that I havent even had time to visit the forums. Anyways, got around to doing a little maintenance, changed all the spark plugs and coil on cylinder two, which fixed a misfire that I was getting Also managed to lower the front end a bit, but it doesnt really make much of a difference because the front fenders just sit on the tires. trying to figure out a way to be able to tuck a little in the front. My current rims rub on the calipers without a 10mm spacer sooooo idk. Had a little time to go out to a few meets and snapped a few pictures. Met up with another guy in town who used to go to high school with me and we managed to get a few great photo's as well as the main street in our town was closed down for a car show and I stuck around until the end to take some great pictures Enjoy

Well Ive been away for a while now, some major changes have come to my 335i. I sold my bags last winter and returned the car back to stock suspension. Some life changes occured over the last year, a major one was moving schools and cities, from North Bay to Ottawa, ON. I was thinking of selling the car, but just couldn't bring myself to do it because I love it so much. I parked the car for the winter and picked up a g35 sedan from a buddy for a beater until I decided what I want to do with the BMW.
here is the last picture of it before I pulled and sold the bags, parked in the university lot


Heres a picture of the g35 I purchased. it was dropped on some springs and I ended up doing a muffler delete when my muffler decided to eject its self on the highway one day :P muffler delete not pictured



The car sat in storage for the better portion of the winter until one of my buddies decided to part his e92 and put it up for sale. I ended up returning his car to stock and purchased some of his parts. I picked up his BBK, KWv2 coilovers, and a couple small things. I also was throwing around the idea of going top mount single
We put the car up on jacks and started ripping into it.






This is how it sits now with his coilovers and BBK, I think Im in love once again


Being busy with school I was itching to wrench and driving almost 3 hours to my buddies place was just getting to be too much so I started looking around for a cheap shop in the area, and came up with a cool two bay hobby shop just outside of town for a very reasonable price.
At the same time I got a really good deal on a 2010 STi with a terrible knock, that I just couldnt pass up.
There it is sitting in the new shop.




I also cleaned the place up a bit and installed a big shelf for storage


I managed to get the car towed to my shop and finally decided to do a custom top mount single build. I tore into the car, pulled many things out, and had to leave it for a bit because life got in the way. Due to popular demand, I started doing intake walnut blasts, along with some minor performance stuff. Many people were coming by because my prices are unbeatable and it helped me pay for rent/single turbo. I made some business cards and got in contact with a few suppliers and now distribute parts for Evolution Raceworks, VRSF, BMS, GTS Wheels, and Fuel-It. Working on growing that list as well as learning to tune, using my kind hearted friends' vehicles as mules
if you get a chance give me a follow on insta @performanceboutique and follow the build on there as well.
On to some pictures.













I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work on a friends M4, this thing is absolutely beautiful, like I cant even describe it. I was allowed to take it for a drive a few doors down and I dont think I hit 5km/hr haha.

The tear down began in the beginning of the summer with hopes to get it finished by the end of the summer, but as any of you know when starting a project, the chance of you finishing a project on time is slim. I researched many turbo options and had to expand my knowledge outside of all the subaru turbo stuff I ever did. My aim is for 550whp until I get fueling sorted out. I also recently found out that e85 is no longer available in my area which makes it harder to run MOAR BOOZT
After countless hours of scrolling through builds, turbo maps, and all that fun stuff I decided on a BW S300SX3 66mm coupled with Tial 38mm WG. After being fed up with useless classified searching I took a hit and purchased both a new turbo and wastegates.
Along with all that I stumbled across a good deal on a Motiv Twin Disc clutch and decided to jump on it.
My welding skills are pretty good, but not good enough to build a manifold which will bring all the boys to the yard so I opted to have it made by a local fabricator (FDF). I hope to offer a hot parts kit over the winter that other N54 enthusiasts can purchase at a good price.












Just a little tease of the manifold flange, the car is currently with the fabricator and I will update as it gets finished.
